Grading Policy

All assignments are graded on a point system. 

HOMEWORK-
Every homework assignment is used in class to introduce or reinforce a concept. Each homework assignment is worth five points, unless otherwise specified. The homework must be complete to receive full credit.  If the assignment is only partially done then it will be worth two and a half points, and a zero will be given along with a teacher signature in the agenda if it is incomplete or not in class at all. If a student misses three homework's they will receive a lunch detention to make up missing work.  ***Please note...Homework is a significant part of the quarterly grade!***

TESTS and QUIZZES-
Every test and quiz is given with at least one to two weeks notice. Each test or quiz will be sent home for a parent signature, the good, the bad and the ugly.

PROJECTS-
There will be a few projects we will do over the course of the year.  Some will be done in just Science and others will be done with English.  When a project is introduced there will be a rubric which is distributed to each student with the description and guidelines of the project.  The rubric will also include all major checkpoints and deadlines.  We do encourage the students to share the rubrics with their parents so that all expectations are clear for the project.
